3 Promc Tradition and transition are words which represent two facts of life with which we constantly live. Except for two letters they are identical, but their meanings are vastly different-often anti- thetical. Traditions are valued, respected and honored acts from the out of the past. Sentiment, nostalgia and emotion bind many tradi- tions close to our heart. We think of and speak about the time- honored and meaningful events of the past which still stir and stimulate our affections. Traditions may be built around events, activities, songs, organizations and expressions of meaning- President’s ful personal events of yesteryear. Transition, on the other hand, is the bridge which links the past with the future. It is often marked by the forsaking of tra- ditions and the revision of former patterns. Proven patterns of the past dare not be recklessly abandoned for an untried and risky Desk future course, but neither should the past be so strongly worshiped and tenaciously held that future goals are jeopardized.

Recent days and years have been transitional for Indiana Central College. Each future day will hold additional changes. Transition is the process of blending the best of each yesterday with the hope of each tomorrow. Change and the ability to adjust to new ideas, modern methods, and expanded opportunities is essential if education is to adequately fulfill its important role.

We pray for Indiana Central a full measure of wisdom that we may safeguard and hold precious those traditions which are significant to the preparation for living in the last quarter of the 20th Century-then to have the courage to boldly move forward into the opportunities of the 21st Century with dynamic programs.

If it appears that your alma matter is in a state of transition, do not regard this as unusual, unexpected or threatening. This is what education is all about-it is a process by which we move from where we are to where we should be!

4 Ref Iect io n s

by Marvin L. Henricks ’39

It is thirty-eight years since I first came to Indiana Central, and I wasn’t sure that I would stay the year. I could have attended the huge University of Minnesota in my home town, but no one bothered to tell me. It was a youth leader of the old United Brethren Church who suggested college and said to me, “Obstacles don’t stop great men; they only challenge them.” I guess I was ready to believe sayings like that in those days, and I didn’t know that I wasn’t a great man. I came with about a hundred dollars as the total resources for my college ex- penses and, when I leave, I hope I will have broken about even. My longlasting impression and my gratitude to the college centers about the idea that Indiana Cenetral made a college experience possible for students for whom the experience seemed impossible. A college like this depends heavily on the personality of its leadership. My recollections, like those of others who have been associated with the college over a period of years, center about the two long-time presidents. Their personalities shaped the college. President I. J. Good was a kind, personable man who had a great interest in young people. He was a man of great courage who faced tremendous financial difficulties, and most of all, he was a very religious man, dogmatic and puritanical, who believed in a pious life both for himself and for all who were associated with his college. Dr. Good impressed upon us the kind of life that he and God expected of us. I suppose it was as much of a sin for me to foul up the back seat of the college Buick with cigar smoke, while we were returning from a quartet trip, as it is now for students to experiment with pot. President Good brought the idea of literary societies with him when he came to Indiana Central as a transfer student from Otterbein. These societies dominated the social life of the campus in the twenties and thirties. The societies were organized around parliamentary procedure and public speaking. I belonged to Zetagathea, and we looked down our noses at the fellows in the older, more prestigious Philomusea whom we would have called “establishment” if we had known the word. There must have been seventy or eighty men who belonged to the two societies in their greatest days, and an equal number of women were members of Theacallosia and Philalethia. The literary banquet held at “Whispering Winds” or “Hollyhock Hill’ was the event of the year.

It is to be used to stimulate increased contributions on the part of present donors through the ACI and to help enlist new ones. Funds which new donors give (or those who have not given for the past three years) will be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis; any increased giving will be matched on a 50-cents-per- dollar basis. At the end of the fiscal year, July 1974, the Lilly Endowment will then distribute equally to the Associated Colleges members a share of the potential $1 million. If the ACI qualifies for the full $1 million, this particular grant could mean about $55,000 for each college.

Student-Alumni Telethon

Indiana Central's second annual student-alumni tele- thon was conducted from October 28 to November 15 in the Alumni Lounge in Schwitzer Center. Chairman, Karen Rogers, a graduate student and Miss Indiana 1973, CO- ordinated a group of over fifty volunteer students who spent one night a week over the three-week period of the drive to call and solicit pledges for funds from ICC alumni. The telethon took on a new dimension this year by going national. Proceeds will be used for unrestricted operational expenses of the college. Last year the tele- thon netted over $8,000 and increased alumni financial participation by six percent-to 27%. The main focus of the telethons has been on increasing the participation of alumni with whatever financial support they may wish to offer. A year before the first telethon, IC's participa- tion was 20% which was above the national average. This year the telethon raised over $11,000 and it is predicted that the participation will be at least 30%.

I envision my own most significant accomplishment as that of having made some intellectual contribution to the lives of some students, and my fondest memories have to do with the senior colloquium that I chaired with Bob McBride. That encounter stirred intellectual controversy on the campus and I seemed most alive.

Two I.C.C. graduates from the 60s, Tom Short ('64), seated, and Alan Cole ('69), standing, are spearheading a drive to raise $200,000 to establish a permanent fund, known as the Indiana Central College Science Fund. Each science-affiliated graduate of Central has, by this time, received a letter from Tom and Alan soliciting contributions for the fund which will be added to the Indiana Central University Foundation assets which comprise part of the college's endowment. President Sease has pledged to raise funds to match the amount to be raised by Messrs. Short and Cole. The earnings from the Fund will be used exclusively for s-ience scholarships and equipment. It is also hoped that funds will be available to the scholarship recipients to aid them in sup- porting of their research needs. Anyone interested in contributing to the fund should make their checks payable to the Indiana Central University Foundation and specify that the donation be added to the Science Fund. 22 By Lynn R.
